2011 Accent AT - Engine Knock!

Tama..

Hindi naman kasi ako kuripot para mag-reklamo sa PMS cost ng CRDi eh. Been there, done that. Worse than that pa :hysterical: Madali nalang maintenance ng CRDi kapag na-experience mo na yung failure ng Isuzu Trooper.

Sorry medyo OT, pero ito rin talaga ang di ko ma-gets na point. Ba't nga ba nagrereklamo sa PMS cost basta CRDi or simply diesel? Ang dali namang i-offset ng added cost noon sa ibang benefits and advantages ng CRDi.

Actually hindi ko rin alam kung bakit. Kasi I use CRDi kasi fuel efficient at mas mura ang cost ng crudo. Yung ititipid ko doon, pang PMS na rin.

So ako walang reklamo.

My thoughts exactly.

To add. Ibang klase pa ang power ng CRDi.. Kagabi hindi ko namalayan 170 na speed namin ni kulafu sa SCTEX. Magkasunod kami both Tucson R-eVGT..

Sir yung normal diesel lang ba kinakarga o yung turbo diesel na bago? Medyo apprehensive pa din ako sa diesel kasi may nakikita parin akong newcars na mausok parin. Kanina nga lang may nakita akong Montero na nagstart sa P ung plate medyo mausok na e. I know it should be properly maintained pero mas mausok parin sya kesa gas talaga. And no matter what they say, kahit bmw pa yan, iba parin tunog ng diesel engine...

Sir mausok talaga Montero Sport FYI

Anyway, Shell V-Power Diesel or Petron Turbo Diesel ang gamit ko

I watched a TG episode na sinubukan nila kung alin ang mas maingay, sabi nung dB meter mas maingay yung 540i than 530d. Hehehe. Pero BMW na kasi yun. Haha

para sa akin lang, ang rason ko lang ay same ng rason ng kaibigan ko sa akin, "if you can afford a vehicle, i don't see any reason why you can't afford gas/diesel and maintenance for it." may point nga naman siya.

In short, TH yung bumibili ng wala namang pang-maintenance!

BTT: Yung knocking sound if ever fuel ang cause, dapat puwede maremedyuhan ng HARI since dapat worry free driving lalo na at brand new vehicle. If hindi compatible, 'wag ipilit. Kasi papano yung walang choice but to fuel up at some gas satation na hindi kabisado? 'wag na lang? Hindi naman tama yun IMO.

The answer to that complaint is this:

make sure na ok yung gas station na pagkakargahan na lang.

If you experience problems with a certain fuel or brand, why persist in using it? Back in the days when Blaze was first reformulated to "97" (before Blaze 100), many sports car owners were complaining of poor performance on that gasoline compared to V-Power.

If you back-read in the forums, you'll see that Ghosthunter and I had a discussion about it... we both switched to V-Power and saw an increase in power on the dyno from the supposedly "lower" octane fuel. This new Blaze is finally a better product than V-Power, but the octane is so high that it really does cause hard starting on most vehicles (a side effect of super-high octane).

If you can't trust the station, don't fuel up there. You can't expect manufacturers to warranty their products if you're filling them with goat's pee. Which means... fill up your CRDi vehicles or new gasoline vehicles to the brim at a decent station before out of town trips, and schedule your fuel stops to coincide with towns with better gas stations.

This is why I mostly use the Crosswind on out-of-town trips... because I know it will work with goat's pee.

i'm thinking of changing to shell premium hoping to see more improvements. any of your thoughts is appreciated.

Go for it. At least the difference in price is not so big, while the octane benefits are still there. Despite the added cost, a lot of us find it a good idea to use Shell fuels, as they seem to have some of the best quality control (station-to-station) of the majors.

NOTE: I am not saying there is nothing wrong with the Accent engine. All modern engines are expected to adjust themselves for varying octane and fuel conditions. But if 95 RON is recommended for your engine (and I've experienced this before... my "economy car" Sentra required 95 RON), then it's better that you stick to that.
